Honestly don't mind the try harding...Do mind the spawn camping. Seems OH. Skill of God, and AE excel at it. Hack or destroy those spawns, don't farm those same militia guys you just squaded with. We all know the match maker is broken and that games are usually one-sided, so once I see that it is I stop running off new guys. So I don't see why others can't do the same. I love 30/2 games as much as the next guy, but I realize that this game needs the new players more than it needs me. So, going 12/2 in lesser gear is something that does not run off half the other team after a week of playing.
The squading with new players (not noobs as you call them) the is a great thing, but in all honesty, did you read your post...its an ego stroke. Congratulations you gave pocket change to some guys and basked on their adoration. Seems they did more for you than you did for them. Since you are already slowing down playing honestly the best thing you could have done was give them all your assets a move on to another game. One less kid needing stroked and seeing "noobs" goes a long way towards curing a lot of the games ills.
Lol, there's always one.
One, these were noobs, as that is the very meaning of the word, new player to the game.
Two, I won't deny that it did help my ego. It felt good to be looked up at like that, yet, this applies to every human being on earth. Though while in a squad with them, I do remain humble about it. I don't throw it in their face and make an ass of myself over it.
Three, don't pretend like you hold yourself to a higher standard. What is this, "running off the noobs" you speak of. So a team is losing, are they a team off noobs or a team of experienced players losing because of a lack of diversity in their gear set. There are several reasons for lopsided matches and not all point to noobs.
It's been my experience, as this isn't the first time I've used SF for pub matches, that many players fall into the middle category (a lot of new players don't tend to use the SF). Neither new but not great players. They may have a proto suit and weapon, with several cores upgraded. But they lack the field diversity a lot of the pro players have.
That's what wins matches, diversity. Sure one guy can run a proto heavy, but a team of proto heavies is going to get stomped by literally everything else on the outside. If they don't have roles outside that to acclimate themselves to the changing dynamics of the battle then they aren't going to win the fight. They will be at a severe disadvantage.
Anyways man, when I started playing this game, isk was a HUGE issue for me. They greatly appreciated the isk and the sound advice. They enjoyed a win and the team work. While I understand the opposing team didn't enjoy getting beat what am I to do.
And in all honestly, I started this game when there was no matchmaking, and check this out, I'M STILL HERE. This argument that they get stomped and quit just doesn't work for me. While some do, because the game is too hard, other persevere and stick with it.
